Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Acrylic
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Cast iron enamel

About our bath repair in Belgrave

Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. We’re often asked to fix snagging damage from a refit and scuffs and scratches in the surface, on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and acrylic.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Signs you need bath repair in Belgrave

Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Holes from dropped items
  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail

Our hiring checklist

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Belgrave. The price comes down to:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Belgrave. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted

There’s nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water cannot get in. Take it off before we arrive.

Should you replace it?

Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Our bath repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why Belgrave clients choose us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. Once it has cured, typically by the next day, the bath is ready to use.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price
